Letter: Following the will of the minority

Dear Editor:
The last time I checked, we live in a REPUBLIC, where majority rule swings the vote and sets the course of the NATION.
William T. Abare, Jr., Ed.D.
President, Flagler College
St Augustine, FL
During the past two weeks, I was confronted with one of the most difficult challenges of my presidency. As many of you now know, it has been confirmed that Mr. Marc Williar, former vice president of enrollment management, changed test scores required for admission and other profile information of the entering freshmen class in the administrative computer system.
Joseph G. Joyner
Superintendent of Schools
St Johns County, FL
Dear Editor and Teachers:
As many of you are aware, The Florida Times-Union filed suit against the Florida Department of Education requesting the release of individual teacher’s Value-Added Model (VAM) scores. The school district views VAM data as part of a teacher’s performance evaluation, and thus, not public information for a year. Unfortunately, the First District Court of Appeals for the State of Florida has ruled in favor of the Times-Union and the data has been released today.
Pamela L Stewart
Commissioner of Education
St Johns, FL
Dear Editor and teachers:
As many of you know, we at the Department of Education have been fighting for you and for all teachers in an effort to maintain the confidentiality of teachers’ names and their individual value-added data.
Senator John Thrasher
St Augustine, FL
Dear Editor:
We completed the last committee week before we convene for the 2014 Legislative Session on March 4. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate, and the House, to pass commonsense reforms for the State of Florida.
